Boss announced that the TU-3 Chromatic Tuner an updated version of the pedalboard standard TU-2, is now shipping.
The TU-3 is a stompbox tuner with a new high-brightness meter mode designed to improve visibility under bright sunlight, and a newly designed 21-segment meter light designed to ensure accurate and visible tuning.
The Boss Accu-Pitch function visually verifies when the target pitch is attained. The sound output is muted while the tuner is on, allowing players to tune silently on stage.
Tuning modes include Chromatic and Guitar/Bass, which allows players to tune by string number, now with support for seven-string guitars and six-string basses. The TU-3's LED meter and arrow indicators show when the instrument is in tune, with two different display modes to choose from.
To address the growing popularity of drop tunings in Metal and Hard Rock music styles, Flat Tuning mode allows players to calibrate the TU-3 for tunings up to six half-steps below standard pitch. The tuner’s reference pitch can be adjusted as well, over a range of 436–445Hz.
Pricing & Availability
The TU-3 is now shipping with a retail price of $160.50.
